Words I Like

I think over again my small adventures.

My fears, those small ones that seemed so big.

For all the vital things I had to get and to reach.

And yet there is only one great thing.

The only thing.

To live to see the great day that dawns and the light that fills the world.

A Word About Comments….

I love comments. I want to know what you think. If you have never commented here before, be aware that there is a delay in your comment showing, as the system holds it until I approve it.
You don't have to agree with me to post a comment here. I welcome dissenting opinions as long as the tone is civil and polite. No profanity please. Posts which are just name-calling vitriol will be edited, deleted, made fun of, and/or sent to your mother.

…And Responsibilities

"The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil Constitution, are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors: they purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood, and transmitted them to us with care and diligence. It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men."---Samuel Adams
